If you get seen by a Zombie, you are dead.

[CalleV23 0]

I loved the game when u began with a weapon! back then you could defend urself! But now with out no weapons u need to crawl all the time, cause if a zombie sees you... UR DEAD! He will aggro every zombie in the village/town. Then you have 10 zombies behind you! And i noticed that now zombies can stop chasing you! :D GREAT JOB! But the problem is that if you're chased by 2 zombies one will stop, then start agian since the other zombie is still chasing :@. You cant really play the game anymore since you are in such need of a weapon to get stuff. I dont know why you did it so hard. You should give the player a chance to defend himself. At this point i can say that this isnt DayZ, its Running Simulator 2012.... Please hear me out! I LOVED THE GAME SOOOO MUCH AT 1.7 :angel:

There was a massive vote, and everyone wanted to spawn without weapons. It adds to realism, blah blah blah, dealwithit.jpg

Run into a building. Zombies are not hivemind, if you only have one or two on you run out of town and shoot them. If you don't have a weapon than run into a building. Guns are everywhere now and ammo is very easy to find.

Expect more updates like this in the future. We are still in the alpha stage and I am sure rocket has many more feature ideas he wants to try. Bugs will follow.

For now I say you go into the official 1.7.1 thread and discuss with stronger grammar what you dislike and like about the update.

Well I could live with it if you was able to punch the zombies or they could stop chasing you after a while :/

No weapons - Okay

Super Zombies - Okay

Both combined - Not Okay.

IMO, keep the non-weapon, but make zombies how they were. At least for now.

well the new hotfix is now released, let's see if it fixs some issues

Guys, you are not making sense at all. In what reality can't you survive without a gun? Like really? So basically what you are saying is that if a zombie attacks you, you can't do anything about it. You will not even try to throw a stone at it or something. That makes NO SENSE AT ALL. So, you argument saying that it's realism bla bla bla, well that is total fucking bullcrap. BULLCRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP...

[griffinz 2817]

It's almost as if you have to co-operate with other survivors instead of shooting them on sight.

benq, if I was confronted with an individual who was infected with a virus that made them super strong and violent and I didnt have a weapon, yea I'd probably bite the dust.

[benqbax 0]

Well...then I would say that you are pretty darn stupid. Still makes no sense at all. I all other games you can hit zombies, either with your fist or with a handheld weapon. And don't come telling me that you would not hit a zombie with a fucking log if you had to. Just don't...

I would probably run to! But can i run forever? No, not really :/

Why is that? I'd rather have their ammo.

Loving how everyone pretends this patch somehow created teamwork between armed strangers.

Reality: new spawns with flashlights pretend to roll together, each hoping the other takes aggro while they loot the first gun and go on with the game.

Sadly Day Z is not at the stage where it can add rock throwing and melee weapons to a engine that lets be honest was made for a milsim.

Sorry. Best you can do is wait and post about your ideas of killing zombie so rocket can see. Can't really do anything else for you bud.

Protip: throw a can and run in the opposite direction.

In this game yes, and they are trying to make the game realistic IF something like that happened in reallife. And in reallife that would not be realistic...

The second response saying go out of the city and kill them, have you even played? Say you're crawling, get spotted, run out and tag along about 5 zombies, not hard to kill. BUT, you will go back to the city and 10 MORE will spawn. Unsuccessful

You can already throw tin cans, empty whiskey bottles, etc. People who don't know what they're talking about need to STOP FUCKING POSTING.

Correction.

Seriously, this thread is fucking stupid and you people need to stop bitching. It's so fucking easy to break LOS on the zombies and lose the horde. Why don't you TRY new strategies and tactics before bauling in the forums like 6 year old kids.

Fuck.

You're an idiot. Breaking LOS is extremely difficult, some zombies are faster than the player and can't hit us only due to shitty melee mechanics. It's pretty much PURE LUCK if you try and break LOS with these guys since there's a 50% chance they will be right on top of you when you try it and you will utterly fail.

The only surefire way to break LOS is to use some of the buildings where pathing is broken. This isn't "good strategy" or "new tactics" its abusing bugs in the gameplay to cheese the only real threat you face besides other plays. Stop acting like that makes you good and new players, bad.

Yesterday i was running through the forest, near Gorka..That was cool

It's day one of a new update. Give it a couple of weeks and we'll all have our new zombie drills worked out and life will go on.

Every time a game changing update comes out there's panic and prophecies of doom right up to the point where people adapt instead of playing the old game in a new world. It'll be the same this time - a bit of patience and perseverance and everything will be OK.
